Church & Bingo? By Jonny Gamesmith, Tue Jan 10th
When casino player David Edwards put down his $8, got hisPowerball tickets and looked upon the god almighty, gosh, didthat pay off!!! With $73.7 million in his pocket, Edwardscouldn't be filled with more gratitude towards lottery, bingoand the wonderful world of gambling! Believe it or not, to many evangelical Christians includingCatholics, bingo is jeeringly known as their eighth sacrament.What is important to note though is that the Catholic Churchteaches that betting becomes ethically intolerable as soon as itdenies gamblers of wealth essential for the deprived. Hundreds of churches and synagogues in the New York area witnessthe events of weekly bingo games, raffles and funded casino gameevenings in their own halls and centers. Although the themebehind these online bingo nights is socialization and meeting new people,the underlying principle is still gambling. People are sofanatic that they ever take pictures of St. Cayetano to theirrural community social halls, exercise rooms on bingo nights,hoping that this will bring them some good fortune.
St. Cayetano, a supporter of bread, labor and the jobless was apastor in Naples who founded the Bank of Naples. People whodesired a good turn would bet him their rosary or a holy candle,but St. Cavetano always proved them wrong and won the bet. Bingo is a reliable source for most city churches to cover upthe cost of most services. According to news sources,approximately $75,000 annually isn't strange for several bigparishes. Where some parishes are benefiting from Bingo, thereare others who deny its popularity. It was learnt from Dennis Keane, chairman of the archdiocese'sInter-Parish Financing Commission that bingo is losing groundand few parishes have slashed their bingo agenda almostpartially. It has also been noted that bingo revenues in the archdiocesehave fallen to 25% in the past five years -- to $2.2 millionfrom a peak of $3.2 million. The reason for this is mainlyattributed to the reduction of volunteers to run bingo games. Copyright, 25 OnlineCasinos, 2005-2006, All Rights Reserved. About the author:None
